been unfaithful to him (1.1.491-492). Emotional and melodramatic, Antony states that he wishes “the Furies [would] drag [Alexas] quick to hell” so he may torture Cleopatra there, while he awaits Antony’s arrival (4.1.440-444). Antony does not want Cleopatra to truly die, because once he is told she is dead, he is overwrought with grief. He states, “what should I fight for now? My queen is dead”, indicating that without Cleopatra he has no reason to live (5.1.306). However, prior to Cleopatra’s…

bogs Laertes down with well-intentioned pieces of advice, quite ironically after Laertes says, “I stay too long”, and causes Laertes to be even later to his ship (Shakespeare 1.3.52). In the next act, which is the next time he is seen, Polonius also drags out his instructions to Reynaldo, adding unnecessary advice, even to the point where he forgets what he was even saying, “ ‘a does- what was I about to say?” (Shakespeare 2.1.52). His long-windedness and his tendency to speak on tangents…

This way of life seems unusual to people looking back at the Elizabethan era, as the person who controlled the country was Queen Elizabeth, a lady. This bought on a conflicted idea about gender. Gender was thought to be a set of socially described qualities. You can be gendered as a female by your behaviours although you may be biologically male, gender was viewed as how…

with showing their feminine side that when they snap back to reality they realize it is a sign of weakness and use anger to feel relief. The Cadets act like they are on a stage playing a role in a play much like the Treehouse where men dress up as Drag Queens. Both identities are being performed, which means while playing a role you a still truly yourself. This is also seen in Biographies of Hegemony, while Princeton and Harvard students are getting recruited, they put on this elite, smart act…
